The 4th and most recent release from supergush is a culmination of three years of songwriting. The band spent half of 2004 laying down tracks for Victims of Routine at Kinaka studios on Tipperary Hill in Syracuse, NY. The band produced the CD along with the help of longtime "5th member" Chris Cox. The CD is a blend of supergush's live sound and interest in adding extra instrumentation to many of the songs. Terry plays the mandolin on "out of stride" and Joe played his fretless bass on "stay". Many fills and other keyboardesque embellishments made their way into the background of several songs to add to the overall sound of the album. Friend of the band Lou Dettor (The Rigby's) sings background vocals on "Song 28", "End of the day", and "All good things".
The third supergush album was an attempt to capture supergush live. We recorded several shows across upstate New York over a five-year span. After reviewing hundreds of songs the end product was a compilation of songs off the first two albums, as well as a taste of what’s to come. The two album tracks that were previously unreleased are “Stay” and “Out of Stride”, and there is a hidden song at the end of the CD. The hidden track was recorded at Rosie O’Grady’s with our friend Dan Wake singing his hit “I Know an Old Lady”. When you listen to the last track, you will know why it was previously unreleased!
Recorded at: Acqrok Studios in Utica, NY in the Winter of 1999/2000
Release Date: April 22, 2000
Produced by: Bob Acquaviva and supergush
Engineered by: Garrett Ayers
Our second album was recorded with the acclaimed Bob Acquaviva who had worked with acts such as Boston, Blue Oyster Cult, Danny Holmes, and Mark Macri. We spent several nights at the studio fine-tuning the songs and working on parts that would enrich the music. The result was eleven songs that pleased us, because we had put a lot of time into writing and rewriting, and editing out the junk along the way. “Spaces In Between” was the last track added to the CD. We spent several hot summer sessions in our living room in Lyncourt working on an acoustic version that is the final product that you hear today.
Recorded at: Todd Hobin Studios in Baldwinsville, NY in the fall of 1997
Release Date: February 5, 1998
Produced by: Jeff Favalo and supergush
Engineered by: Jeff Favalo and Tommy Scott
Our first effort was recorded ten months after we had formed the band. The songs were raw and inspiring. We were eager to write together and were still learning how to do so collaboratively. The eleven songs that came out of the gush sessions were very pop-rock oriented. We recorded the entire album in about eight sessions with Jeff. The beginning of the supergush sound of melodic and catchy choruses is evident in “When I Live”, “I Need You”, and “The Bridge”. “Swing” was the sleeper hit -- it was sung through a telephone in the studio to give a withdrawn AM radio feel.
